Thread Name: US Nat'l Anthem in Spanish?
Subject: RE: US Nat'l Anthem in Spanish?
Hernandez - not to put too fine a point on it, but the Spanish came to South America first. By your reasoning we wouldn't be having this problem because the Spanish should have learned the native South American languages. And since it is theorized that the Chinese may have gotten to the S. America's first they should have probably learned Chinese. I believe the Nordics were the first European race to hit the shores of N. America. I can't see Mexicans speaking Norwegian though. All of which is moot because we should have all learned the tongues of the native Americans who lived here.

Can't we all just get along?
